Solve using quadratic formula. x^2-8x+15=0 I don't know what I'm doing wrong :(

What answer did you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

something with a sqaure root sign when i should be getting actual numbers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you should be getting x = 5,3 I actually factored it without using the quadratic equation but if I did use the quad. eq. I would get the same answer: 8 plus or minus the square root of 64-60 divided by 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Positive 64? that's probaby where i've been messing up
